Can colors affect your mood? Your productivity? Your appetite? The research says yes! Here are some of the most popular colors and what they mean:

Yellow

Yellow is the color of the sun, so it reminds us of joy, happiness and cheerfulness.

You see fast food restaurants use yellow a lot.

Green

Green is the color of nature. It refreshes us and symbolizes harmony, healing and money.

They say green is the easiest on the eyes, so it’s great to make your computer desktop green.

White

White represents innocence, purity, and perfection.

It is also seen as safe and sterile, so it’s a color used in hospitals as well.

Black

Black represents power, elegance, formality and mystery. If you want to be taken seriously wear this color, but all black could be taken as too mysterious.

Brown

-The color of stability, brown is also seen as masculine. If you’re a woman in a predominantly male workplace, wearing a chocolate brown suit can give you credibility.

Choosing the color of your office, your clothes or your desktop should not be taken lightly -- colors do affect our moods and productivity. However, colors are not the only thing that affects us -- one can still be efficient in a grey suit or workout well in a black outfit. But, when given the choice, picking a color that will work with you, and not against you can only help.
